for a detailed explanation of the problems).
The only difference with the previous fix is in Solution2:
CPUBLOCK is no longer set when exiting from callout_reset_*() functions,
which avoid the deadlock (leading to r217161).
There is no need to CPUBLOCK there because the running-and-migrating
assumption is strong enough to avoid problems there.
Furthermore add a better !SMP compliancy (leading to shrinked code and
structures) and facility macros/functions.

return. The ast() function may cause a context switch in which case
PCB_FULL_IRET would be set in the pcb. However, the code was not
rechecking the flag after ast() returned and would not properly restore
the FSBASE and GSBASE MSRs. To fix, recheck the PCB_FULL_IRET flag after
ast() returns.

This introduces struct ieee80211_rx_stats - which stores the various kinds
of RX statistics which a MIMO and non-MIMO 802.11 device can export.
It also fleshes out the mimo export to userland (node_getmimoinfo()).
It assumes that MIMO radios (for now) export both ctl and ext channels.
Non-11n MIMO radios are possible (and I believe Atheros made at least
one), so if that chipset support is added, extra flags to the
struct ieee80211_rx_stats can be added to extend this support.
Two new input functions have been added - ieee80211_input_mimo() and
ieee80211_input_mimo_all() - which MIMO-aware devices can call with
MIMO specific statistics.
802.11 devices calling the non-MIMO input functions will still function.
ctl/ext noise floor values.
This routine doesn't check to see whether the radio is MIMO
capable - instead, it simply returns either the raw values,
the "nominal" values if the raw values aren't yet available
or are invalid, or '0' values if there's no valid channel/
no valid MIMO values.
Callers are expected to verify the radio is a MIMO radio
(which for now means it's an 11n chipset, there are non-11n
MIMO chipsets out there but I don't think we support them,
at least in MIMO mode) before exporting the MIMO values.
upper-level HAL.
Right now the per-chain noise floor values aren't used anywhere in
the upper-level HAL, so the driver currently has no real reference
to compare the per-chain RSSI values to.
This is needed before per-chain RSSI values (for ctl and ext radios)
are can be thrown upstairs to the net80211 code.
safer for i386 because it can be easily over 4 GHz now. More worse, it can
be easily changed by user with 'machdep.tsc_freq' tunable (directly) or
cpufreq(4) (indirectly). Note it is intentionally not used in performance
critical paths to avoid performance regression (but we should, in theory).
Alternatively, we may add "virtual TSC" with lower frequency if maximum
frequency overflows 32 bits (and ignore possible incoherency as we do now).

functions are implemented with CMPXCHG8B instruction where it is available,
i. e., all Pentium-class and later processors. Note this instruction is
also used for atomic_store_rel_64() because a simple XCHG-like instruction
for 64-bit memory access does not exist, unfortunately. If the processor
lacks the instruction, i. e., 80486-class CPUs, two 32-bit load/store are
performed with interrupt temporarily disabled, assuming it does not support
SMP. Although this assumption may be little naive, it is true in reality.
This implementation is inspired by Linux.

difference in the ring setup in igb, this is not accidental,
it is necessitated by hardware behavior, when you reset the
newer adapters it will not let you write RDH, it ALWAYS sets
it to 0. Thus the way em does it is not possible.

to count in a boundary case.
Unlike other controllers which have more advanced jumbo support,
these controllers have one send ring, one standard receive producer
ring and one receive return ring. In order to receive jumbo frames
on the controllers, driver now will increase Rx buffer size to 9k.
Two Rx modes are supported on these controllers and I chose
standard Rx BDs over extended Rx BDs. The extended Rx BD mode
allows up to 4 segmentations for each Rx BDs such that kernel does
not have to allocate large buffer of contiguous memory for
receiving. The extended Rx BD mode is already used on controllers
that have separate jumbo receive ring. However, using extended Rx
BDs on BCM5714/BCM5715/BCM5780 reduces the number of Rx BDs to 256
entries which in turn may reduce the performance. Also UMA backed
page allocator for jumbo frame returns contiguous memory so using
extended Rx BD has no advantage on FreeBSD unless highly customized
local allocator implemented in driver is used.
To use jumbo buffers in standard receive ring, Rx buffer allocation
handler was changed to allocate MJUM9BYTES sized mbuf.

The timeout is expressed in the form T(N) = (2^N * nanoseconds) and can
be easilly extracted from the watchdog interface as a WD_TO_* macro.
That new functionality is supposed to fix re-entering the kernel from DDB
re-enabling the watchdog again (previously disabled) and also offer the
possibility to break for deadlocked DDB commands.
